The BY-HM100 Dynamic Handheld Microphone from BOYA is a microphone tailored for voice reproduction to maximize clarity. It can be used in several environments—to capture speech for interviews, as well as in boardroom, lecture, and presentation applications.

The mic features a 360° omnidirectional pickup pattern for quick interviews on the street, a dynamic capsule—so no need for a battery or Phantom power—and a 70 Hz to 15 kHz frequency response. The integrated mesh head maximizes clarity, reducing plosives and wind noise.

Additionally, the BY-HM100 Dynamic Handheld Microphone is built with a durable aluminum-alloy body coated in a matte black finish. It is equipped with a standard 3-pin XLR M jack and includes a carrying pouch.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. I've read that 'dynamic' mics work best when the sound source (voice or instrument) is close to the mic -- say six-eigth inches for example; but their sound pickup range falls off quickly as you move much further away from the mic (which has the advantage of reducing background noise). Is this true for this mic?

A: That is true for dynamic mics in general. Some dynamic mics are more sensitive than others. This one in particular requires the source of sound to be just a few inches away. Probably closer to around 3-4 inches or so. The polar pattern also will determine how far off axis the source of the sound can be until the sound drops out. This Samson Q2U is a cardioid pickup pattern which is about 120 degrees around.

Q: 2. Can you get an adapter for USB-C to lightning?

A: If you have a lightning connector on your iPad, it would be more ideal to use the version that comes with a lightning connector; BH #BOBYWM4PROK4. But you could also use a USB-C to Lightning adapter with the USB-C version, like this one. BH #APMUQX3AMA

Q: 8. There appear to be three settings for the high-pass filter: the switch can be positioned towards the front of the mic (bent line symbol), in the middle (straight line symbol), or towards the back of the mic (circle symbol). I gather the bent line represents "hi-pass filter on", the straight line "hi-pass filter off", but what does the circle setting do?

A: The circle setting turns the mic off.

Q: 9. I understand that this is has a 3.5mm connection, but can it also work with iOS using a Lightning to 3.5mm adapter? This package is much less expensive than the same package with the Lightning receiver connection ($180 vs. $250.)

A: Yes, you can use the Apple Lightning to 3.5mm Headphone Jack Adapter (B&H # APLAADAP) together with the 3.5mm TRRS cable for mobile devices that is included with the Boya wireless system. The Apple Lightning adapter will enable compatibility to connect the wireless receiver to your iOS device.

Q: 10. will you get a decent sound quality with this microphone going through the headphone jack? I have always heard it is better to go through the Lightning Pin, like with the apogee mic or to use a USB mic with the adapter.

A: This microphone has been designed to offer high-quality audio when connected to the headphone port of your iOS device. It works quite well.
